one question i get a lot is why is this poem in lower case, but this one isn't? i don't have a good answer besides the voice felt smaller when i was writing it. i think that answer means more to me than it would if I spent a bunch of time trying to articulate why
but i do think it would be a useful exercise to capitalize the i's and beginnings of sentences and just see how that feels to me.
half of the time when I read a poem I feel it welling up in my throat and that is how i know its good to me. so when I get to class and try to articulate whats happening and what i'm thinking about i get frustrated. the conversations don't work for me the same and i'm sad.
idk how much this makes sense, i just have such an experience with some poems in my body that an academic conversation makes me cranky.
to clarify this is a “it’s just not my thing, ur good” thread and not a “change ur ways u fools” thread
